| Reversbeschreibung | Displayed imperial double-headed eagle with spread wings, each head crowned individually and surmounted by a single imperial crown above, all set within a beaded border. On the eagle's breast, an orb or shield bearing the numeral 10, denoting the denomination of 10 Kreuzer. The surrounding legend reads FERD II DEI G ROM IM S A, identifying Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II. The date 1629 appears in the lower exergue area, below the eagle. The design follows the standard imperial eagle type common to contemporary coinage of the Holy Roman Empire. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Bishopric of Chur held temporal as well as ecclesiastical authority over much of the Graubünden, and Joseph Mohr — bishop from 1626 to 1635 — governed during one of the most violent chapters in the region's history. The Thirty Years' War had drawn Graubünden into a prolonged struggle between France, Spain, Venice, and the Habsburg powers, all competing for control of the Alpine passes. Spanish troops occupied the Valtelline from 1620, and imperial forces moved repeatedly through Chur's territory throughout the late 1620s.
Coinage of this period from smaller ecclesiastical mints was often driven by immediate fiscal necessity rather than monetary policy. The three-year span of this issue — unusually drawn out for a single kreuzer type — likely reflects interrupted production rather than planned mintage.
